The 16th amendment says "bullshit." And the IRS won't be going anywhere. You think an audit is intrusive and scary now? Wait until you have to prove you paid taxes on everything in your home.

The 16th amendment does not mandate an income tax. It authorizes Fedzilla to impose it.
Fedzilla can choose to impose a sales tax instead.

Sadly, I think you may be correct.
However, there’s never been a better time to call for the abolition of the IRS. If nothing else, it can have the effect of defanging the leviathan and perhaps even reducing its size.
Even more hopeful is the outcry to remove the IRS from 0bama-care.

You will be keeping receipts for big-ticket items anyway, if only for warranty service.
